<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DBDc80, post: 2623215, member: 84525&quot;]Hey folks! I have a 1799 draped bust dollar that i have owned for 5 years (building a date set) it is a strictly original coin graded vf 25 by pcgs, and it matches well with the other coins in the set. The reason for my posting is i have a question for other collectors out there. On the obverse, to the right of the date, there is an area of a greenish crust. This spot has been there since the coin was purchased, and it does not appear to have changed in the years i have owned the coin. My question is should i be concerned? And....what is this? Is it old dirt, verdigris, or pvc? I sent a scan to a numismatist at heritage, and he said it was simply patina, and to keep the coin in a dry place free of sulphur (which it is). What should i do?[ATTACH]575891[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]575892[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
